Abstract: L'invention porte sur un bouchon (100) pour point lacrymal constitué d'une tête proximale (102), d'un corps distal (106) et d'une tige flexible (104) à paroi mince placée entre la tête (102) et le corps (106). La paroi mince de la tige (14) du bouchon (100) comporte, de préférence, des plis en accordéon (114, 116, 118), ce qui permet de faire varier la longueur de la tige selon le degré de pliure des plis en accordéon. De plus, ces plis en accordéon permettent de courber facilement la paroi mince de la tige et de placer la tête et le corps le long d'axes différents. En conséquence, le bouchon est conçu pour s'adapter, relativement, à la fois dans des points lacrymaux verticaux, longs et courts, le corps et le bouchon pouvant former un angle par rapport à la tête de façon à s'adapter à différentes structures anatomiques. Selon un autre aspect de cette invention, le corps du bouchon peut comporter un filetage qui guide par rotation le bouchon dans le petit orifice du point lacrymal.

Abstract: Apparatus are disclosed that thermally cycles samples between at least two temperatures. These apparatus operate by impinging fluid jets onto the outer walls of a sample containing region. Because the impinging fluid jets provide a high heat transfer coefficient between the jet and the sample containing region, the sample containing regions are uniformly cycled between the two temperatures. The heat exchange rate between the jets and the sample regions are substantially uniform.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting an inventory of tags, wherein each tag (102) is assigned a Tag ID and a manufacture number. Each tag can be attached to an item to take inventory of those items. A tag reader (104) transmits a wake-up signal followed by at least one clock signal. Each tag increments a first tag count in response to the clock signals, and transmits the Tag ID assigned to the tag when the first tag count corresponds to the Tag ID assigned to the tag records the transmitted Tag. When more than one tag transmits simultaneously, the tag stores the Tag ID in order to resolve the contention when the first read cycle (202) is complete. In the second read cycle (206), the tag reader transmits the contended Tag ID followed by at least one clock signal. Each tag that contended for the transmitted Tag ID increments a second tag count in response to the clock signals, and transmits the manufacturer number assigned to the tag when the second tag count corresponds to the manufacturer number assigned to the tag. The tag reader records transmitted Tag IDs, completing the inventory of the tags. <IMAGE>
